In addition to the provision of client focused services, Muscular Dystrophy NSW (MDNSW) maintains a strong commitment to research, with funds made available each year to individual researchers as well as research institutions. MDNSW is committed to providing a range of services and support addressing social, educational, medical and financial needs. Activities are designed in recognition that client and family needs will vary, for example a family from a CALD background or living in a regional area will have different needs.
